Hi from AZ

Hello, and welcome to the BYC community.

Hello, New to the site and thought I'd check in.

We live in the desert of AZ with our horses, dogs, cat and now 3 chickens. 1 Sapphire Gem, 1 Barred Rock and we thought we were getting a ISA Brown/Gold Sexlink but she is very gray. They are about 10 weeks old now. They have a nice coop and a solid protective cage to keep the coyotes away. Now I just need to build a run. Trying to figure out what I'm going to do for that at the moment.

Welcome!
I also live in Arizona, about halfway between Phoenix and Flagstaff. I have a 10x15 run that I built out of a modular dog run (it's made of panels, with the fabric already on them), and a shelter/roost taking up a corner. I used hardware cloth around the bottom 4 ft, an apron around the perimeter, and 2x4 no climb for the top, with hardware cloth near the roost. And lots of shade cloth as I have no trees yet. Where I live, the coyotes breed in January with kits in March but your area could vary. Best of luck!
